She is surrounded by an engraved floral and botanical decorative border filling the field of the heptagonal flan. The legend MRS. TIGGY-WINKLE™ arcs across the upper margin, and the copyright inscription ™ & © FW & Co., 2023 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Part of a larger Beatrix Potter licensing program issued through a private mint under Solomon Islands authority — an arrangement that produces legal tender technically, though these pieces are collector items from inception and will never approach a cashier's till in Honiara. The Solomon Islands 50 cent denomination has been used repeatedly for this kind of contracted commemorative work, lending nominal legitimacy to series that are essentially bullion-adjacent novelties.
